I love a good quote.
In fact I kind of collect them. If I hear some great words spoken or see them
written somewhere, I immediately write it down in my ‘thoughts’ journal (which is
basically this tattered black book with my random thoughts and design ideas in it).
Sometimes a few succinct and clever words can often spark my imagination or
train of thought.
Today I found myself
looking through last year’s journal and came across some great quotes. So instead of talking some
shit about my outfit, I thought I’d just share a few of these quotes… perhaps they may inspire you as well.
“ When you realize that
there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you” – Lao Czu
“Personality begins
where the comparison ends” – Karl Lagerfeld
“Continue creating work exclusively for yourself, that reflects you in
every aspect. Never compromise your aesthetic in hopes to reach a larger audience;
your audience will find you when they’re ready.” – Hassan Rahim
“You are not rewarded
in life according to your work or time but according to the measure of love” –
Saint Catherine of Sienna.
“Innovation distinguishes
between a leader and a follower” – Steve Jobs
“What is important in
a dress is the woman wearing it” – Yves Saint Laurent
"Luxury
is the opportunity to experience quality, be it a place, a person or an object."
– Keanu Reeves (Ha)
"Here's To The
Crazy Ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the
square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules,
and they have
no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify,
or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.
They push the
human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see
genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world - are
the ones who do !"
– Apple Computers
The last quote wasn't in my journal but it is a favourite which I wanted to
share with those who may not have already heard it. I think no matter how big or
small you should always follow your dreams, and as Gaultier once said “ …with
the right amount of passion, anything is possible”
